It strikes me as quite unlikely that Jeffrey Epstein's motive for allegedly inviting powerful figures from the U.S. and Europe aboard the Lolita Express on a trip to Orgy Island was mere fellowship as if they were playing a round of golf together. My dominant hypothesis is that he was video-recording highly illegal and morally reprehensible rapes for use as blackmail material. It might have been insurance against serious prosecution for his indulging in his own perversion, which would explain why his punishment the first time he was prosecuted was laughably light:
In June 2008, after Epstein pleaded guilty to a single state charge of soliciting prostitution from girls as young as 14, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Instead of being sent to state prison like the majority of sex offenders convicted in Florida, Epstein was housed in a private wing of the Palm Beach County stockade. He was able to hire his own security detail and was allowed "work release" to his downtown office for up to 12 hours a day six days a week. He served 13 months before being released for a year of probation. While on probation he was allowed numerous trips on his corporate jet to his homes in Manhattan and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
But a man who made serious money on Wall Street might well appreciate the utility of being able to blackmail people into sharing secret information, or rendering government decisions that favor him, among many other possibilities.

“But, what if Epstein had the resources of a large intelligence agency available?”
Bingo
It is coming out that his money stream appears to be off the books, and his net worth is unknown.
Everything about him reeks of corruption in every possible way.
Great information from Amazing Polly...

Thanks to pgkdan from the latest Q thread.
You’re a troll?
Anything you say, Mr. Podesta.
Don’t call me Shirley.
I'm normally a fan of Occam's razor, but I question its applicability here.
Epstein is a billionaire, he didn't get that way by the simplest method. I suspect all his activity had multiple layers of redundant safeguards.
He was caught once and got off near scot free. He didn't quit his activity, but he was likely way more careful.
A billionaire has no need of blackmail money. So I discount that theory. However he wanted to maintain his safety. I suspect his taping etc was a defensive tactic in case of rats.
Absolutely. I thought that was so obvious I failed to mention it. My bad.
Private island or not, Little St. James is under US jurisdiction as part of the US Virgin Islands (I'd imagine these pedos got a giggle out of that), and has never been raided to my knowledge. This to me is telling as to just whose intelligence might have a hand in this.
Why not? It is done all the time. Epstein need not have been a single individual who was doing it. He could easily have been an agent of a government or governments.
Killing him would not solve a target's problem.
Using blackmail to extract information is one of the most common tools for an intelligence agency.
